Must have been a slow news day to have a program which debated the race of santa and jesus. The fact that jesus' appearance in western christianity is european is just additional proof that the myth is manipulated to fool the masses.

That is pretty funny (and terrible). It goes to show how people will cling to anything that supports your world view.

Now, why she needs Jesus to be white is beyond me. Perhaps she's irredeemably racist, or something. Aside from that, almost every Christian I know fully admits that Jesus was almost certainly darker-skinned than he is frequently portrayed in western media.

Me and my wife watched the FOX news clip and we thought it was sad for different reasons.
She thought the race of Santa was a matter that kids need to be arguing about, not adults.
I thought the race of Jesus should be discussed by intelligent adults and not FOX news pundits.

Arguing about santa is just icing on the cake. Fools, all of them.

Oh - it's Megyn Kelly?
Never mind.

Really people should listen to her - Never. What a statement on our country that she has ANY audience.
